In the present invention, an analysis schedule is pre-created such that streams of a plurality of liquid chromatograms can operate in parallel and a mass spectrometer can collect data at the timing of each component elution. A control unit controls so as to: divide the time required to analyze each sample in a plurality of liquid chromatogram systems into pre-collection time, time during collection, and post-collection time; search and allocate time positions in which the time during collection in the liquid chromatogram units do not overlap; determine start times for the plurality of liquid chromatogram units to thereby create an analysis schedule; and thereafter perform analysis. The control unit further stores parameter sets for varying component elution times, adjusts analysis parameters so as to make data collection timings appropriate for creating an analysis schedule, and changes the component elution times.
